I was a student at New Brockton from K-12. I had nothing but positive experiences. The small size allows for teachers to know their students by name and accommodate their needs. There was great camaraderie among the staff and students. I was well prepared for college and would suggest this school to anyone. You won't find a better place.

Principle does not take care of the problems with the fighting amoung students. Police are called and assemblies are done but it hasn't stopped the fist fights. Students are scared and bullied.

This is a really great school. They have good teaching methods and wonderful teachers. To be a public school, it is top notch. They have really good athletic teams. All I can say is that I really love this school. Gamecock Pride!
